Hi I seem to have problems getting multi sites to work. On my home pc Fedora 16 I have latest Drupal 7 in /var/www/html In /sites I have example.com. In example.com I have settings.php and /files both a+w I have not installed the base drupal as I only wish installation of multisites.
/etc/hosts set to 127.0.0.1 example.com localhost.localdomain localhost NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/html ServerName localhost </VirtualHost>
<Directory /var/www/html/example.com> Options +FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All order allow,deny allow from all </Directory>
Calling example.com gives error message :The Drupal installer requires that you create a settings file as part of the installation process. Copy the /./sites/default/default.settings.php/ file to /./sites/example.com/settings.php
/What could be wrong please, I 'm really stuck as I need to understand the process so that I can set up multisites on the centos shared server.
Help would be much appreciated thank you.

Further to this problem posted earlier. I have found just now that the problem seems to be example.com which confuses the system. --I created 2 new folders in /sites example1.ab and example2.ab and copied default.settings.php to both, renamed and set files and settings.php to a+w. --Set /etc/hosts to 127.0.0.1 example1.ab and example2.ab --Created <Directory /var/www/html/example1.ab> and <Directory /var/www/html/example2.ab> in httpd.conf --Created 2 databases example1 and example2 Installed the multi sites as one would expect.
I have no knowledge of why example.com does not work, eliminating it seems to solve the problem I only hope the same technique works on the centos shared server thanks Roger

You say you "have not installed the base drupal" and then you say you have Drupal is /var/www/html, which is it?
Also, just to make sure, /sites should be /var/www/html/sites from your file system view, path for web sites are often described relative to Document Root.

If the two sites have different Document Roots, then you are not using multi-site (unless you have done something else unusual to make the sites point to the shared version of Drupal).
If Drupal is installed in /var/www/html then the Document root for the sites should be /var/www/html not /var/www/html/example1.ab Any custom files for a given domain (like settings.php) would then be in the directory /var/www/html/sites/domainname/ ...

"Multisite" means multiple sites installed on a single codebase. You have to have a base installation and that is where the VirtualHost will point.
